LEADING THE WAY IN THIN MASONRY TECHNOLOGY.

Thin Tech Features and Benefits: Why Thin Tech?

Glen-Gery Thin Tech® is a mechanical support and spacing panel for thin masonry veneers. The strongest, most durable thin veneer panel system ever designed. Each thin brick, tile or stone is supported by our patented support ties that mechanically interlock the masonry veneer

to the panel.

Patented support tie configuration placed on a 76 degree angle

Allows the mortar to surround the support tie creating a positive masonry lock between the brick mortar and panel

Stucco embossed texture

Provides a built-in weep system on both sides of panel for moisture control

Creates greater surface area for maximum adhesion between veneer and panel

26-gauge steel

High fastener pull-through strength for panel support and integrity

Hardened steel sheets help brace wall, minimizing wall racking

Allows fastening anywhere through the panel for even weight distribution or loading on the wall, using industry standard fasteners

Protected by a zinc coating plus a thermal set coating

Simple support – No relief angles or foundations needed for support. Panels are attached with screw fasteners provided by Glen-Gery.

Continuous rigid Insulation compatible – Thin Tech fasteners are available in lengths to easily accommodate installations with up to 3" of rigid foam insulation.

Superior drainage and drying – The 3/8" space created by the channels of Thin Tech Elite panel can eliminate the need for a second layer of WRB. Alternately, a drainage mat can be used with Thin Tech Classic panels.

Mechanically secures most thin veneer types – Patented angled support ties mechanically bond each unit to the panel through the mortar joint, without any additional action required by the installer and no need for special slotted units, or special back surface texture such as keyed or dovetail backs.

Performance verified – Available reports include water penetration resistance (ASTM E331), structural performance (wind load deflection ASTM E330), shear bond strength (ASTM C297), fastener pull through, fastener withdrawal (ASTM D1037), and corrosion resistance (salt spray, ASTM B117) and other data. NFPA 285 compliant.

More size options – Standard Thin Tech panels can accommodate a variety of masonry unit thicknesses from 1/2" to 1-1/4" and heights from 2-1/4" to 11-5/8". Panels for unit heights up to 24" are available as special order for limited applications.

After

Before

Thin Tech Classic offers the thinnest, most resilient masonry veneer support structure specifically designed to accommodate thin brick. The Classic series works in conjunction with traditional mortar to secure the veneer.

Thin Tech Elite is the most advanced masonry support system ever designed. It features all the advantages of the Classic series, but with enhanced product performance: superior drainage, ventilation, pressure equalization and bond strength.

Thin Tech solves the weather problem

Wind is one of the main contributing forces causing rain penetration in a building. When wind blows against the face of a building, it forces water through even the smallest opening. A wall utilizing rain screen technology is designed to counteract the pressure of the wind. When wind hits the Glen-Gery Thin Tech Elite wall it forces air into the airflow chambers, causing the chambers to reach the same pressure as the wind; thus the net pressure difference across the cladding is near zero. As a result, the wall pressure is equalized and the driving force for pressure-induced water penetration is eliminated.

Glen-Gery continues to lead the way in thin masonry support technology by stocking a full line of high-quality accessories. These accessories are recommended for the Elite and Classic Series panel systems and available through our authorized Thin Tech distribution network.
